I had a recruiter call first, and then I spoke with the hiring manager for a behavioral interview. It was a really quick and easy process. I recruited for the fall season.

Behavioral
The screening call was more formal than I expected. They didn't ask for a 'tell me about yourself' and jumped straight into job-specific behavioural questions, which caught me off guard. I was informed there might be up to two additional interview rounds, but then I got a rejection email. It felt rushed, and at times, it seemed like multiple questions were being asked simultaneously. I'm rating this negatively, not necessarily due to the interviewer, but because I didn't leave with a positive impression.

Behavioral Technical Presentation Case
I applied online and a recruiter quickly reached out for an initial phone screen. After that, the hiring manager (VP) wanted to interview me. Since I live in a different city, we did it over the phone for about an hour. He then suggested I interview with one of his peers, also a VP. That call was also an hour long. A few days later, I was invited to the head office in Toronto for more interviews and to meet the hiring manager in person. The company covered my travel expenses. The recruiter kept me updated throughout. The day before I left, I had a nearly 90-minute call with the hiring manager's boss (C-level). My visit to Toronto was great; I had 3 more interviews and met with the hiring manager to discuss the role's objectives. I felt good about the company and the opportunity. I was surprised not to hear back the following weeks. Eventually, I got a generic email saying my qualifications weren't a fit. Still, I think it's a good company with good people, but the lack of personal communication about why I didn't get the role was disappointing.
